Today's photo is of the nativity, the manger scene at the house of Santa of Chapman Street. While he left us in 2003, his little house, near the corner of Walker Avenue shines gloriously with both the religious and secular symbols of Christmas. The center of the photo is actually a scene, just to the left of the house. On the right, you see Frosty the Snowman peeking out on the edge of the porch. Jack True Sr., was a man of modest means, but he lived for bringing joy to others during the holiday season. For thirty years, he served as Santa on Chapma. He can rest assured that his family has continued the tradition.
As you drive through Sunset Hills and see all of the trees filled with the glorious chickenwire balls wrapped with strings of lights, consider heading over to the part of Chapman Street just off Spring Garden Street and pay homage to the man who really brought Christmas to life for so many families of Greensboro. Here is a detailed article from the News and Record, back in 2003, the year Mr. True died.
That is well done.
